26-0511A Project application to the Federal Aviation Administration and delegation of authority to accept Federal Aviation Administration Fiscal Year 2026 Funds - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Airport Infrastructure Grant - St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport.

Recommendation: Approval of a Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 project application to request $4,906,084.00 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Airport Infrastructure Grant program. - This grant will enable St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) to fund ongoing pre-construction design activities for the passenger terminal improvement project. - This grant will likely pay for a portion of 80% of the terminal's eligible spaces since the FAA does not fund all terminal construction. The local share would be the remaining 20% of the FAA-determined non-eligible spaces. - It is uncertain exactly when the grant agreement will be forwarded to the County for signature by the Chairman and County Attorney. The grant will be electronically mailed to the Chairman for electronic signature and then the County Attorney. PIE will not have a copy of the grant prior to the grant being emailed. It is customary that the FAA provides PIE with no advance notice and only a few days to execute the grant and obligate the funding. - Because the grant agreement needs to be signed when it is received by the FAA, we request the Board of County Commissioners delegate authority to Chairman Eggers to sign the grant at the point in time when approving this grant application. - This request is budgeted for in the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget of PIE in the Airport Revenue and Operating Fund (New Passenger Terminal Improvements Project 003343A). In the event that future fiscal year funding is not available for this project, the County maintains the authority to terminate this agreement.

On January 23, 2026, a monitoring letter was issued stating the County is responsible for remitting the $238,140.00 to the Treasury according to the Treasury Office of Inspector General Joint Notice dated October 4, 2024. - The funds were disbursed through the ERA program to 11 cases that were subsequently identified as fraudulent applications by County investigation. The Clerk Office of Inspector General reported the case to local and federal law enforcement agencies. - A request to reclassify non-federal County funds previously spent for ERA eligible activities to offset the ERA funds was denied by Treasury. - The County received $45.8M of federal funding through the ERA program (ERA1 $19.3M and ERA2 $21.5M) to support housing stability during the COVID-19 pandemic. - Between January 2021 and December 2022, a total of 5,692 applications were approved and $40.6M disbursed in housing assistance payments. - The payment to the U.S. Treasury Department will be made from the current budget appropriation within General Government in the General Fund.
